Charles:
The presumed context of "recent decades" comes to us in the first =
paragraph of the subject/linked article where later you are quoted:
"the rate of warming we are seeing [now] is unprecedented in human =
history,"
Are you referring to the 'hockey stick' issue when you make that claim? =
When you make that quoted claim, are you referring to the human history =
of record keeping, or are you referring to human history in terms of its =
supposed life span on the planet in-total? I must assume the former, =
correct?
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/15/goddard_arctic_ice_mystery/
Did you see the recent NBC News report which alleged North Polar ice =
sheet reductions; the report that depicted penquins falling off =
icebergs? Is this Penquin issue discussed in your Ecology (Vol. 89, =
No. 11) November report? I ask because the media seems to have gotten =
cold feet lately about Antartica:

Please address the 'hockey stick' question above.
